AWS S3 Third-Party Storage - Securing Access and Secret Keys

When using the Amazon S3 3rd party storage option (Configure Amazon S3 Storage|Documentation), how are the AWS Access Key and AWS Secret Key stored securely in your systems?

Do you encrypt these values, and if so, who has access to the encryption keys?

I am checking the details with my colleagues and will answer you shortly.

We do not encrypt those values when saved, and, the only people having access to them is the customer. Also, we do create several keys with special permissions for cloud products so they can also obtain the credentials. Please let us know if need any further clarification.
